Don James, Steve Sarkisian, and the Blueprint

This piece of shit article is part of the problem. The writer fails to mention that Sark has failed miserably in the most important part of "The Blueprint": "Next, develop the identity of the the team as a whole: the cornerstones would be toughness, fundamentals, defense, and attention to details."

Toughness is hard hitting, playing with an attitude, always competing. 7WS' teams 5 years of 3+ games losing streak by avg of of whatever the fuck pts is not toughness, nor is the general play of his teams. They wouldn't be getting blownout like they do if they were exhibiting toughness. They'd hit somebody in the mouth, like we used to, or @ least show some fucking emotion and get pissed.

Fundamentals: His teams have been plagued by shitty tackling, drive crippling penalties and overall bad decisions, mostly on the part of game day execution and coaching decisions.

Defense: Fielded some of the worse defenses in the history of UW football, ignoring defensive line recruiting and development. Defense was better last year under Wilcox, but 7WS has created so little defensive line depth that we have to switch player positions to get production (Brostek, ASJ, Evan Hudson). This should absolutely not be the case in year 5.

Attention to details: Obvious. Our Special Teams play wouldn't be as bad as it has been under 7WS if he was emphasizing paying attention to detail, our dumb ass penalties that contribute to our losses wouldn't be happening, his game day coaching mistakes wouldn't be happening if he was paying attention to detail.

Oh, and it's "palpable" not "palatable," Mr. Landon. Jesus. They can't spell or write worth shit on that site.
